Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Zombie (The Devil'S Guard) by Adam Helms was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in September 2013, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 7,500.00 – 10,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 6,250.00 (€ 4,617.66). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Adam Helms - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Untitled Portrait (10), which sold at auction in September 2014 for USD 18,750.00 (€ 14,847.96).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Zombie (The Devil'S Guard) von Adam Helms im September 2013 bei Sothebys in New York versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 7.500,00 – 10.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 6.250,00 (€ 4.617,66) den Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Adam Helms mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Untitled Portrait (10) beobachtet, die im September 2014 für USD 18.750,00 (€ 14.847,96) versteigert wurde.
